  • In my continuation of featuring my wonderful World Unknown Review Volume II writers throughout the year, we now turn our focus on Luther M. Siler, author of this month’s featured story, “Nanos Khund and the Traveler.” I had a chance to “sit down” (i.e. email) Mr. Siler to delve a little bit into his work,…

  • Spring has finally decided to stick around Chicagoland lately, which means that I’ve been able to get out and start walking again. Last year, when I started my journey for a healthier me, watching my diet and all this walking helped me lose about thirty pounds. I gained a little bit over the winter, what…

  • Time is a funny thing, isn’t it? All yesterday, I had been planning on getting home after work, settling in to write out a blog post that wasn’t about RoW80, because, for the life of me, I was truly thinking that today was not Wednesday. I didn’t even up writing that post; I got home…

  • Here I am, making my third post in a row about (…err…) RoW. And that’s okay. It isn’t as though I haven’t had anything else to talk about. In fact, there’s a whole list of things I want to talk about, including five books that I’ve finished in the last month or so. I’ve had…

  • Normally, I wouldn’t like having two of the “same type” of posts in a row on my blog (in this case, RoW80 updates), but I’m trying to be better about my weird little quirks and consistency, so I’m just going to suck it up and give you all my update. We’re only two days into…

  • It’s been so long since I’ve participated in RoW80 that I can’t even remember the last time I did. What I do remember was that it gave me a sense of drive, purpose, and, most importantly, community that really made me feel connected to the pulse of the indie author world. For a variety of…

  • It’s a brand new month, which means a brand new featured story from the 2015 World Unknown Review. This month, I bring you a quirky little bit of speculative fiction from the wonderful Luther M. Siler called “Nanos Khund and the Traveler.” I’ll hopefully have an interview with Luther cropping up here on the blog…

  • I’m sure there’s at least a few of you who may have wondered what happened to my gung-ho, Mon-Wed-Fri posting schedule that I was so excited about over a week ago, considering things have been pretty quiet over here on my blog. Let me assure you, I have not dropped the ball entirely so quickly,…

  • When a Story Surprises You.

    More often than not, I honestly feel like stories have a way of taking on a life of their own. A good example is Serpent in a Cage, which constantly finds itself diverting from my main idea and rewriting itself. I’m also getting small surprises as I scribble away at Heartless for NaNoWriMo, despite knowing…

  • A New Step Forward.

    It’s been another strange week, folk.  There was all sorts of shenanigans for Halloween, of course, but, prior to that, despite all the stuff I wanted to get done, my time was crippled as I went into battle with a little bit of malware that wound up on my computer due to my desperate attempts…
